I have become a big fan of this colour. I ordered the car in April 2012 and had reservations regarding the colour since I had not seen it in the flesh. I had also been driving black cars for the last 20 years. I credit my "better half" with pushing me towards the decision. At the time she assured me that estoril blue "isn't the walk on the wild side you think it is". I've included pictures under different lighting conditions that show the "range" of this paint.

Great color. I understand that it swirls easily. Enjoy!

I wouldn't be surprised if it does. I had it opti-coated on delivery and that has worked out very well. I think opti-coat or an equivalent is a must for this colour.

I can understand coming from a penchant for black that this has great appeal for you.

My preference is for (perhaps over the top for you) Sprint (pearl effect) blue. I've not grown tired of this color after 3 years.

Very nice! Great to see something other than white, black or grey.

SFV A4

Extremely impressive! A keeper for sure.

You're right, too over the top for me. If I was going to special order any blue colour it would've been sepang. Sprint has never done ti for me, but to each their own.

Amen to that........which is why I went Imola (though Sprint would have been okay too).

I always thought the Estoril color was a lot darker then this.

Hard to believe those are the same colors.
